Impressive, can actually install the necessary C# extensions... this makes the Samsung DEX a real programming environment, hope the dev packages a web browser like Chromium in it, so we can easily log in to Microsoft Azure and GitHub.

I wish tell dev fix illegal status issue TeXstudio has entered an illegal state! Bad state transition: [Incorrect Session Transition (event=Session Selected(session=Session(id=1, name=TeXstudio, filesystemId=1, filesystemName=apps, active=false, service Type=vnc, port=2022, pid=0, dispossession=true), is Protected=false), state=DownloadingAssets(numCompleted=1, subtotal=2))] We are working to resolve these issues. You can let us know about this issue on GitHub if you'd like to help! Now working :)

It works! After about 15 minutes of automatic installations, VS Code works. I tried for 2 hours and succeeded to clone a large private git repository from GitHub and run it with microsoft's "Live Preview" extension. Git is not installed automatically with this app, but this can be done wit two "sudo apt-get" commands you can easily look up. I recommend using this app with a Bluetooth keyboard as this is emulated (Debian) Linux. The latency is noticeable. I almost managed to install Firefox.

This is pretty close to working, closest vs code on android/Dex, but has some pretty large bugs that make it almost unusable. When editing a file '5' is generating a 'backspace' and '6' is doing a 'tab'. There are a few places inside the vs code where this happens, but it very consistent in any text file, making it unusable. The terminal, in vs code, locks up making it also unusable at times. The other xterm works well. Saving auto-scale (and other preferences) would be nice.

I regret to inform you that your platform has been used in a stalking account and allows the stalker to use TeXstudio to send pedophile pictures and threats to my wife and my children for over four years now Forrest Kimmel has been using this and termux to threaten children and even attempt to extort money from my family and has bragged that they control TeXstudio, and they claim to work with edge and Godzilla, so I am forced to report them over and over again, I am sure you don't want it used.

Just like code server. I need Ubuntu and what is here is Debian. It's just wasted money buying this app. It doesn't show files that are already on my phone before when I open the folder except the one I created with it.
